Just Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Yourself To Manage Your Internet Privacy and Security
Author By Sophia VidaPosted on Pretty soon all people will need to do is put their name into Google to see how much the company is involved in their digital lives.
In the following weeks, whenever logged-in users enter their own names into the query box, a shortcut to personal account information will appear at the top of Google’s search results.
The new feature is an update to the already “My Account” hub that the company introduced one year ago. My account helps people manage their privacy and security controls easier on Google’s services.
The link to personal accounts will appear at the top right of the listings for searches done on personal computers and at the top of requests entered on smartphones.
According to Guemmy Kim, a Google product manager, “Google is making the change because it learned that many users doing a “vanity search” under their name wanted a quicker way to find out what the company knew about them, as well as to see how they are depicted on various sites across the internet.”
